Clothing & Equipment List
for the Florida Keys Trip
Students should “travel light” and pack
everything into a medium-sized duffel bag or suitcase. A small carry-on bag for books, tapes, and personal items may be taken on the
bus (A school bookbag works fine for this.) and
kept in the overhead storage racks. EACH
ITEM should be labeled with the
student's name.
Remember, there are over
90 students going on this trip and students
need to be able to locate their clothing & equipment easily! Please limit candy & additional snack foods. NOTE: Please look at the Royal Tours bus regulations on food & snacks.
